My fate cries out,
And makes each petty artery in this body
As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.

Hamlet

Heyy there ,😃

Nemean Lion !! ..It is the famous story found in Greek Mythology and is a part of Hercules labours, Nemean Lion was a monstrous Lion , the offspring of Typhon and Echidna ...Nemean Lion was considered to possess such a thick hide that neither the arrows, lance, spear could penetrate the pelt and would be glanced off from its skin ...When Hercules was pondering on how to remove the thick pelt of the Lion , Athena , The Goddess of wisdom takes pity on him and tells him to use the claw of the lion itself to skin it !! Hercules follows the command and successfully de-skins the Lion of Nemean !!...So is the case of Shyam here ...Khushi tried many a games with Shyam, the monstrous Lion ..barbs from her mouth were shirked off, Threats were mocked at , her deductions of his actions were laughed away ..Nothing of Khushi's action could penetrate the thick hide of Shyam and give him a mortal blow and it is then that Khushi realized the vulnerable part of Shyam, His Lust, His ego, his obsession...She begun to use this as the proverbial claw to peel through the layers of Shyam, to weaken him, to strangle him and to kill him.

Has the connection to the Nemean Lion ended with the connection to Shyam , can we connect it to Khushi Singh Raizada ..Yes we can !!My fate cries out,And makes each petty artery in this body As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve....A cry of Hamlet but how truly it reflects the status of Khushi's present state...A girl who would writhe even if a stranger would be in pain , A girl who could never keep anything within herself n would blurt it out either to Payal, Arnav or her own DM , A girl who was scared of thunders, lightnings and darkness n would faint when any of this natural event occurs , Fate intervened and she suddenly found herself surrounded by darkness , and with darkness came the demons of the past stronger, bold, audacious ..with no knight to defend her, Khushi grew the nerves of Nemean Lion ,strong, hardy and indestructible ...she begun to use the fire to destroy the fire, she begun to use his claws against the bosom of the monster, she begun to trap the beast in his own lair ..she begun to put the blinkers and lull him into a false sense of victory ...she has begun to use her guile to get the monster to do her bidding ,Her compassion has been hardened by deceit n lies but her moral compass is still intact and guides her towards light, her home ..Her Arnav !!

Proceeding to the episode ..Let me admit I was more intrigued n interested in the sub text present in the episode than with the plot line of the track ..I was later recollected to the track 😆😆.

Hypnotized !! That was the first thought that came into my mind when I saw Shyam...The deer in the headlight , caught unawares, blinded by the light , unaware of the approaching hand of retribution , unaware that the noose is being tightened slowly around his neck ,oblivious of the fact that the prize for which he had worked for so diligently, for which he had slogged as Anjali Singh Raizada's husband for so long has slipped from his grasp and this fall is brought about by the woman who holds his ego, his passion to ransom ...

I just loved the scene for its simple conversation ...This scene reminded me of Helen of Troy !! although there are many versions , the predominant one is of the fact that Helen was so beautiful, her beauty was so entrancing that she caused virtual destruction of two kingdoms .Something similar happening here ...The wealth, the power that is within his grasp falls to the ground while his attention has been diverted ...it is replaced by a replica , one which will keep him in an illusion of being a king until the final moment when he will be stripped of his vanity thereby fulfilling Anjali's "Lakshmiji ko aap kabhi pakad nahi payaenge "...I also loved the suggestion of the key ..The Pen drive will be the key which will unlock the secrets of Shyam ..whether it is the contents of the pen drive or the aftermath of losing the pendrive ..we will know later ..

Another significant moment was when Shyam says,"Khushiji, Ab hum isme saath saath hain" .. what was downright interesting was the acceptance of Khushi into this culpability ... The note worthy word for me was 'Issme"..Now what is " Issme" in this context ?? is it the torture of Arnav ?? Is it the abduction of Arnav ?? no...it is the lies, the deceit, the breach of trust of which both are culpable ..of which both are guilty , Khushi admits to her guilt and here we come to Saath saath..yes ..saath and saath.. partner's in crime and also the number 7 !!. we had dealt with number 7 in our previous Redux and many of u would be aware that the number 7 has been used as the 7th angel who will blow the truth , the number 7 which denotes completion of a cycle ... but there is another significance to number 7..that is sanctification !!..Yes!! Both Shyam and Khushi will be given the chance of redeeming themselves ..How they will utilize it will have to be seen ??

The next import of 7 is the fact that it denotes a completion of cycle and regeneration of Positive cycle ..a birth of new !!

Where does Khushi go after accepting her complicity in the crime..straight to her Devimayya where she penitently folds her hands seeking forgiveness , she will be forgiven as proven by the words of NK !!

The Pen drive Segment...Wow !! 😛

Shyam sits on his bed, daydreaming ,lost in his reverie ... the emphatic victory over Khushi finally giving him the the calm, soothing his restless spirit, damping the jealous embers ..he utters the name of the woman who will lead him to his downfall and lo ! presto there she stands like the avenging Goddess, waiting by the door..luring him out ..Shyam follows her , still lost in her charm , drugged by his own feeling of superiority, his ego inflated by his triumph over Arnav Singh Raizada and also at the easy capture of the supposed trophy wife...Shyam can afford to be magnanimous and he is magnanimous !! Khushi leads him out while Nk rushes in to put the Pen drive and keep Shyam Lulled ...Khushi shares her worries with Shyam !!

As I said , I really felt that this was a scene where I felt the avenging spirit of Khushi will lure Shyam to his defeat ..I also liked the fact that she has begun to play him like a expert angler .. reeling him slowly and steadily, keeping her vulnerably facade intact, massaging his ego ..Has she become the Khushi Kumari Gupta of Lucknow , No..she has not ...Khushi of yore would never relate everything to Shyam on any given day and would choose to speak obliquely or just assure him that she will handle everything [ it would be Buaji who would spill the beans ] bu today she seeks him out, lays down everything thread bare and projects herself as the doe in need of him, his solace...Today she is enacting a role , today she has become Arnav Singh Raizada cos she has begun to act with her dimag !!

The second thing I liked here was the dialogue of Shyam...what a brilliant dialogue of his and how well Abhaas delivered it...he speaks about 'TRUST' and tells Khushi to trust him ,nowhere in that moment does he say or imply that HE ..TRUSTS HER !! .. The basic makeup of this man who does not believe anybody,anyone or anything stays intact !!

A special mention for that chair shot !! loved they made use of it ..The empty chair or throne in front .. devoid of the emperor ..the seat of power and the tactical moves of the courtiers ongoing behind the chair ..The moves and counter moves of Shyam & Khushi ...The assurance of Shyam that he will take care of HIM [Arnav] too !!..his movement towards the throne, not to sit on that nor to kick it but stand behind it and lean down on the chair...that one casual moment showing the complete domination of Shyam over the possessions of Arnav's including his wife.. Applause to Abhaas and the brain who etched this scene !!

The final segment of the day...When mami comes in ..I just could not help but remember the phrase that Truth comes calling !! ..Mami receives the box , her suspicions raising to the level of Olympus ...fearing the content of the pack ..She interrogates the courier Man and is interrupted by Nani who takes the box from her and heads indoors while Mami signs attesting the handover...

The box of secrets has come home ... Mami the DA is the person who is there to receive it ...She will not allow the the receptacle an easy passage is certain but what I liked was her comment.."Tell me the TWO-ruth " ... ..Did it convey that the baby track is on or are we to take the numerology and infer that two indicates the upcoming split, division and will the burden be passed on to Nani who will carry this baggage ..The baggage of hiding the truth ...

The Box moves indoors , right into the heart of the mansion ...the box is opened and Shyam comes and joins the group .. Nani exclaims in surprise on receiving the gifts from her Grand Son ..Khushi, NK and mami are stunned !!

I really loved the way this scene was shot ...The box comes in and we can see Shyam hovering in the Background..His true face still a pale shadow and as the box is shown... he slowly begins to step forward , his presence getting a strong ,solid presence ..the contours getting clear , the truth becoming clear when he begins to climb down ...The box is opened n Shyam has come into the circle..the truth in all its naked glory !! ..The truth that will be known only to Khushi,NK, Mami, Nani ..but he will be given a chance to redeem himself as we saw Nani handing over Anjali/Anjali's gift to him ...but does he value it ..his subsequent actions disprove it !

Khushi and Nk are in the bedroom , A roiling Khushi completely sure that the gift is not sent by Arnav when Mami comes in ..berating the duo for not doing their job correctly.. Maami who had been sidelined and who has been progressively getting worried has her explosion and is calmed by Khushi ... This should have been a Segment where Khushi should have dominated as a wife who is shattered but also holding fast n strong but it was Mami who came across as the protective Hen , who was actually devastated by the absence of her son...A moment when she knew that Arnav would never gift her this brand underlining the bond this acidic Mami shares with her Acerbic Bhanja ...It was a moment that despite his sweet talks , despite his methodical moves, Shyam could never reach the inner circle and has never bothered to form a bond with the people nor maintain a relationship...He has always been about greed and he will always be about Greed !!

I have refrained from commenting on what might happen in the future for the simple reason that the track does not seem to have set ..if on Tuesday n Wednesday we had a inkling of the past track being reopened ..we here today had the Baby track being combined to the previous one, along with the fact that a chance will be given to Shyam !! as of now ..it is in a state of flux !!

Hola everyone!! *hugs all*

What to say about today's episode!? Hmmm... Sochna padega ki kya acha laga aur kya bura. Arnav nahi tha toh it was kind of a bit difficult to like it much! 😛 Nevertheless aaj ka episode if I forget what was there in symbolims (dimaag nahi chal raha aajkal) - was an okay - okay episode.

I will start with what I loved in today's episode - Mami - Manorma Mami . I do not know why but I was never too happy that she was taken off the case and Khushi and NK continued with their detectivegiri. However Yesterday and today - I have loved Mami more than anything else.

When Mami came to know about Arnav's kidnap - she took a step towards Khushi - trusting her - believing in her - for she was concerned about Arnav and she saw Khushi mirror the same concern or probably even more. Step by step - Mami stood by Khushi - helping her out when needed (the dining table scene) - being cordial to her and just being there for her by teaching her to be practical.

But as soon as NK entered - she was taken off the case - she was forgotten - she had to be updated for Arnav is like a pseudo son to her. She cares for him - and is concerned for him. Yesterday when she took jibes at Khushi over the dining table - it was because she was restless - she was worried and tensed - she needed to have answers which she was not getting. Today she gave words to her feelings and confronted Khushi and NK. Her emotional outburst at being kept in the dark - and not being confided in. It was long due and I am glad it happened.

Mami knows her Arnav - she puts into words the last moment that she saw Arnav being carried out - the image scares her - she has been trying her best to find out what to do when to do - just to find something about Arnav that gives her peace and solace that something is happening and that her Arnav bitwa is coming home. Yes - Mami is materialistic - but even in that she knows that her Arnav bitwa knows her and he knows her allergy and that is why she misses him. Oh Mami - Ur concern for Arnav is adorable!! :))

Now coming to my second favorite character - Yes Vi and Sree - I am talking about Shyam Manohar Jha . Oh man! Abhaas can I just say how much I love Shyam these days!? Its adorable to watch his face shine when he is dreaming about Khushi and then when he mutters "Khushi" and then sees her in front of him. He sees her worried and he immediately gets up - worried that she is worried. I do not know - but it is definitely not lust - it is not love (for love is not selfish) - but it is a feeling that is awwable! Khushi needs to divert his attention - so she uses the papers as a bait and Shyam senses her concern and he consoles her - promising her that nothing will go wrong now that they are together and he will take care of everything. He will have to because that is what will get Khushi and Arnav peace.

What I loved most - NK's entrance and Shyam's change in reaction! Brilliant. Jealous much Shyam Manohar Jha!? Cannot even imagine his reaction later when he comes to know he was just being used by Khushi and how.

The gift scene : Should have been a hint for Nani actually!! arnav is not the one to gift! Arnav is the one who finds it hard to gift - he does not think of all this. However - Shyam's motive was mainly to convince Nani and it worked - so no qualms about it. :)) -- So everyone got something - while Anjali got the last gift. Liked the scene over all for Shyam's confident walk down the stairs - for Mami - Khushi and NK who seemed uncomfortable throughout and for Nani who ignored the suspicious, uncomfortable and shocked expressions on the three faces (Yes was a bit strange :/ ) and the smirk on Shyam's face.

Khushi and NK - Devi Maiyya blessing Yes Khushi needed to apologize to her devi maiyya because she gave the god's blessing to Shyam. However the twist in the tale is : that this raksha dhaga is going to be the noose around Shyam's neck!! Khushi has seeked her forgiveness for using her god - but this is what will lead to Shyam's down fall! The noose will tighten slowly and shyam will be caught in his own web.

Coming to what I did not like

1)) Either of the two tracks - the pen drive or the chit - should have worked out today. Atleast the chit could have been in the hands of Khushi /NK - by the end of it - would have made it seem to us that the story had moved. However otherwise the story is stagnant - excpet that we know that locket has a pen drive and the chit is somewhere lost in the box.

2)) Can we please have Khushi disgusted at the thought of Shyam touching her. However much I like Sushi - I need to believe that Khushi indeed hates Shyam now. Maybe she should be shown utterly disgusted with the fact that he has touched her ( Twice today) or she has touched him!? There is no emotion of disgust on her face when Shyam touches her or holds her these days. Infront of Shyam she cannot show - but needless to say - she needs to be shown irritated and frustrated.

What I would like to see

I was amazed and enthralled at Mami's reaction on Arnav's disappearance. I guess we need to see Khushi's reaction a bit more too than the continuous detective giri. I would like to see an emotional moment - maybe Khushi alone - actually missing Arnav - crying for him - hugging his shirt. Yess - we got the telepathy convo this week - but I need to see Khushi's feelings without Arnav in the frame (except maybe in flashbacks).

Guess the story will go round and round till Arnav aka Barun is back! Cannot wait for this track to race off to the finish line now. But I am at my positive best - I saw hope yesterday - today and I know I will see it tomorrow - no complaints and no demands.

Thanks everyone who likes my post! Cannot thank you guys individually but read every bit of it. Also to all the writers of REDUX... Great job all!! Do not get time to individually comment - but I try and read every post.

Love and Light :)

res.

The epi was honestly baap of all fillers but i found one character that really touched me today , that was Mami..

From when Arnav is kidnaped, we are seeing different emotions and facet of Mami as well.

We are getting an insight about how two Mami and Arnav who rarely show their love and emotions also share a beautiful bond between each other, how despite of being harsh and rude in the exterior , have such amount of emotions in the interior..

Did we knew Arnav even notices the smell that Mami is allergic of and keeps a note of it and doesnt gift her that, and Mami also knows that her Arnav bitwa knows her taste ..

From yest few people thought Mami is going out character , but NO, she is getting more and more emotional because she thinks Arnav is seriously harmed and she might not be able to see him at all, she has realized that Kushi is keeping her away from this issue which bothers her even more.. She has seen Arnav being carried out by goons and in a bad condition and now her emotions are over powering, she is not able to hide it behind her sarcastic/comic exterior.. Utkarsha u absolutely know how to fill in exact emotions, be it comedy or emotional scenes u rock lady👏

Mami is a drama queen sorts, she is not like other women in her appearance and her emotions were also the same frame totally convincing her character..

About the rest of the epi, i will give a skip as i found it filler.

Their is one thing i found notice worthy is Anjali's absence past 2 days, when the gifts arrived Anjali HAD to be present their, but she was missed.

So i get the link between why this kidnap saga is dragged.

To the CVs:

1. We understand that few actors weren available to shoot few scenes, but that doesnt take away from delivering atleast a decent script.

2. The Raizada family member's reaction is totally blank.

a. Nani's chote hasnt ringed up frm so long yet her reactions are quiet calm and composed

b. Anjali a women who goes frantic if her chote doesnt ring her up for 3 hrs and now almost a month and she hardly cares??

c. Akash still hasnt figured out if their was a deal in Scotland and what business deals will take 1 months stay ??

d. Does Payal realize Kushi 's condition, as a sister what has she done to Kushi until now, the least she can do is talk and know the reason for sister's restlessness but she is least bothered

e. Why do members of the family go missing so often and without any explanation?? Where is Mama? Anjali? Masala Mama(not that i care) ??

f. Why isnt kushi shown emotionally affected by Arnav's kidnapping condition, why is it more of bond giri that viewers get to see. She has to have her sansein rukh jayegi moment as well. A calm and composed Kushi on a CID act is not convincing the TRP audience ( i take the reference of my mom and her frnds)

Final Note:

We have got information from various sources that Barun is back, so even if Anjali is not available can the show progress and can Kushi reach Arnav already and can they escape. can this kidnap track end for good?? Its stretched beyond limit and people have run out of their patience now.

A piece of Advice:

Can you stop giving us spoiler's by your sources??

From when the show started and until the show was doing good that is until Jan we never got spoiler's, we do not wanto know an actor's schedule , we do not wanto know the future track and start anticipating about it even before watching it..

The spoilers are more damaging than doing any good..

Ban the spoiler's and start working on ur script with ur talent that was present until Jan, period!!

Plea:

Can you please put ASR in RM as soon as possible.

OMG OMG OMG...!!

I got to learn the exact meaning of proverbs today thanks to Gul and Team!!

Apne paon per kulhari maarna

Do i even need to elaborate on this...

Aasmaan se gir ker khajoor main atakna

Barun aaya to DB ghayab

A drowning man will clutch a straw

We reduxians watch eagerly and decode positivity from everything

A fish rots from the head down

Gul jee you need to do something

I can go on and on but Lets move on to the episode...

First of all special mention to Abhaas for portraying Shyam's Lust so brilliantly.

Episode started with Khushi tying the Raksha dhaga (the snare😉) around Shyam's neck and falls down the necklace he was wearing...although it is a USB but it is made of ivory in a gold chain...both ivory and gold are symbolic of wealth and power...clearly indicating that once the trap tightens the wealth and power he so craves will be pulled out of his grasp and slip through his fingers yet again...

He then comments to khushi that they both are always together ...clearly implying that when the moment arrives he will pin it all on Khushi !!

Poor khushi is begging for forgiveness from DM for all the lies she is spewing left right and center...however NK assures her that her intentions are clean and DM will understand and forgive her ...implying that Karma will bite back but the damage and pain will be curtailed by DM soon..

NKs dialog that he saw that the pendant had a hidden key...key is always associated with the truth...implying that whatever information is in the USB is the whole truth...but at the moment they are unable to access it and return it to Shyam and will watch through a camera...implying that shyam will stay under the illusion that he holds the power and is soon acquiring the wealth...but actually he will just be guiding NK and khushi to Arnav....

Khushi's fretting over the documents she signed...though it was a playact by her to lure shyam out of the room but I feel the way shyam assured her and initially did not trust on her...the papers are of some significance and could prove to be a problem in future...

In the end mami has entered back in the picture she is super agitated as she has rightly observed that information is being kept from her...Mami is a super smart woman and will not sit quietly...she has started to feel some fishiness in the activities going on and will start connecting the clues very soon...shatir kidnapper who made a mistake of sending the perfume to mami which she is allergic too...mami so far feels that kidnapper selected it because Arnav knows she is allergic to this one...I am wondering if somehow something will slip from shyam's mouth regarding the perfume which will alert mami's senses...

She is ready to blow the trumpet any moment...she is on the precipice of becoming Devil's advocate...and soon will reprise her role of the 7th angel too...

Dear Madam President,

Further to your previous mail, please find the update of scheduling department:

1. Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta-Singh Raizada has been suffering from over-work and hence taken a few days off. However, the good news is that Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada is now available. Their dates are confirmed for shooting the 4th Advertisement from upcoming Friday.

2. It was very difficult to handle Mr. Shyam Manohar Jha as he was extremely upset with the news of a collective rejection from all departments of our prestigious club. He has vowed to take revenge.

3. Since Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada is back, Mr. Aman's schedule has become a little tighter. However, Mr. Akash Singh Raizada has given a special recommendation for him, therefore, I would advice the HR Department to take heed and appoint him, so that the Advertisement Media Department can take a screen test.

4. Mrs. Payal Singh Raizada has happily accepted to be part of our sister concern, Chamko Detergent. HR Department, please do the needful.

5. When asked Buaji about working with NK, she went berserk with happiness singing "Hai Re Nand Kishore" ; However, Mr. Nand Kishore himself wasn't very keen to work with Buaji. Still trying to manage his schedule. Will update as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Ritz

Dear Managers,

Please note that this company is founded on the principles of love and spreading love. We all are team Arhi and it is an unspoken rule that none of the members will be involved in name calling or pointing fingers at others.

As this is the first instance we will let it go, but from next time appropriate action will be taken.
No tantrums will be tolerated as companies are run by employee roles and not a particular person working as an employee.

I am arranging a meet on the new redux tomorrow, where all members should report, meet, greet, accept each other and learn to live in harmony. I repeat every member is important to us.

With love

Hope this letter finds you in good health. As Chameli Ka Tel Company's CSM(Customer Services Manager) I would like to inform you about a survey that we contacted from our tel customers through our customer care hotline (1300 CHAMELI KA TEL).

I am pleased to inform you that the majority of customers are generally pleased with the new product after the earlier hiccup with our supplier. But there are still some issues that out customers feel with our product.

1. The pricing of the product. They feel it is slightly expensive.

2. As you know Chameli ka Tel is also used for cooling effect. Some of our esteemed customers have not read the instruction manual properly and have complained about SHRINKAGE of a certain body part (I am advising people who are not familiar with SHRINKAGE to watch an episode of Seinfeld called 'The Hamptons'. It is readily available on YouTube. I know I am getting into Creative Department's territory in GutterLand but I am only the messenger.

3. Almost all of our customers are seriously worried about the disappearance of our brand ambassador Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. For a lot them the only reason of buying our product was Mr. ASR and some unruly customers are even implying us of false advertising. Our scheduling and PR department have assured me that he will be available full time from 26th June. I hope this is true because some of my team members are quite afraid after getting threatening phone calls from customers.

I will keep you updated with further customer response.

Sincerely
Trin
Customer Services Manager

And last but not the least our Audio Supervising Manager has proposed the song for today:

Now if you are an Arnav, khushi, Shyam, NK or the lead kidnapper fan then don't forget to press "like". 😆

Khushi /Shyam

Gunayante Doshah Sujanvadane Durjanmukhe,

Gunaa Doshayante Tadidmapi No Vismaya-padam|

Mahameghah Ksharam Pibati Kurute Vaari Madhuram

Phani Ksheeram Peetva Vamati Garalam Duhsahatram||

~ Subhashitani

Translation - Defects turn into virtues when they come from good persons. Virtues turn into defects when they come from wicked. This is not an occasion to be surprised. The great cloud drinks salty water and makes rain water sweet. The serpent drinks milk, but emits intolerable poison.

Khushi and Shyam - One is pure and the other is evil. Now a days Khushi is becoming expert in deceit and lies...but what she is doing has a reason, reason to save her beloved's life... on the other hand Shyam's actions have always been driven by greed and lust.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anveshan ke jaise sau tareeke, anugami banana tha chip ke|

Yadi Khul jaye bhed, to pakada ja sakta hai jhooth safed|

Prashno ke dhoondhne hain uttar, rakhne honge kadam phoonk phoonk kar!

Surakshit rakhna hain jise chahta, shaayad usme hi koi raaz chipa tha|

Nanhe aur khushi milkar, bun rahen hain jaal soch samajhkar|

There are hundred ways to investigate.

But if one wishes to follow then they should do it stealthy.

Because if they are caught their lies will also come to forefront.

Search continues for unanswered questions, and to find them they will have to tread carefully.

He feels the need to keep his object safe, seems there is secret hidden in it.

NK and Khushi both are carefully weaving a mesh to catch the culprit.

Nani aur Mami ki chinta, swabhavik hai roop mamthva ka|

Baatcheet mein mila suraag, Arnav upayog kare yeh baat|

Bhojan sang aaya jo pata, uske rehne ki jagah hai batata|

Sandesh swaroop bheje woh parchi, drishti na pade shatru ki...

Goodh shabdon ki suljhani hogi Khushi ko guthi|

Har ek pehlu par charcha hain karte,

Arnav tak pahunchne ke maarg hain dhoondhte|

Dhanrashi se lekar swabhaav tak ka vishleshan,

Paini drishti se kar rahen hain ankalan|

Kehtain hain pakadne ke liye ek Saanp, bil mein daalna pad sakta hai haath|

vishaile jeev se itni nikatta, jeevan ko sankatmaya banata|

Phir bhi lakshya karna hai praapt, chahe kitna bhi ho asaadhya!

If is normal for Aunt and Grandmother to worry about their kin.

Arnav found a clue and is acting upon it, the address that came with food, gives an idea about his location.

He is sending the bill with words only for Khushi's eyes.

NK and Khushi are discussing possible ways, from money to the behavior, Shyam's every aspect is under scanner.

When one has to catch a snake, putting your hand in the burrow becomes unavoidable. Closeness to a poisonous being is dangerous to one's life.

But the goal has to be achieved even if it seems impossible.

Bhramit kar paayi ek kunji, dekhen kitani hai woh upayogi|

Chal ka jo khel rahi woh khel, uske swabhaav se khaata nahin mel|

Hriday aparadh-bodh se bhara, par maarg nahin hai doosara!

Devi tujh sammukh karon samarpan,

Ek sukritya ke liye karna hoga sarvasva arpan|

Rahasya ko paane ka marg, koot shabd bina hai nirarthak|

Karna hoga dosara upaay, Nanhe hain ek sacha sahaya|

Safalta milne se pehle mada, nishchay hai dilata ke hoga patan|

Mami ka sir chakraye, uphaar bhala kahan se aaye?

Jab bhanja nahin gaya videsh, kisne diya saugaaton ka aadesh|

Mami ko sab lage asahaya, Arnav ko khojne ka nahi soojha koi bhi upaay|

By using distraction she found a key, let's see if it is of any help.

She is playing a game of lies and deciet, which does not define her nature

She feels guilty, but she does not have any other option.

So she prays to the Goddess, saying I lay on your feet and I'm ready to sacrifice everything to fulfill this one good deed.

The only way to uncover the secret is in knowing the password.

They will have to find another solution, NK is a true friend for suggesting so.

Even before achieving success he is full of pride, which will bring his demise.

Mami is confused, who has sent the gifts when her nephew never went abroad. She feels helpless as there is no respite and no solution in hand to rescue him

Buaji aur unke upchaar, yahan to nahin tha koi beemaar!

Jis rog ke woh upaay sujhayen...Woh rambaan nahin ulta hi asar dikhayen!

Netron ke jo baan chalaye, ek bhi lakshya ko na bhed paye|

Pehle nuskhe ko aise padi maar, piya kahen nayano ka karna hoga upchaar!

Duje ne kuch kiya yun chamatkaar,

Bhaag gaye pati-parmeshwar, takiya liye udhaar!

Ab bacha hai anthim upaaye, Payaliya koyaliya ban jaye!

Safal hoga aisi nahin mujhe asha,

Samasya nahi paye jaan, upaaya nahin dilayenge dilasa|

Aunt and her treatments!

But there is no one who is sick here to receive them.

The remedy she is suggesting has given opposite results instead of curing the ailment.

Enticing dance of the eyes did not hit the bulls eye!

Rather it has been perceived that she is suffering from eye ailments.

The first solution has gone down the drain and the second one made her man to run away, with a pillow in his hand!

The last solution for Payal is to sing like a cuckoo.

I have no hopes that it will work coz without knowing the root cause of the problem, pacifying with solutions will not yield results.

Tants,

I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you. Every time you make a new redux thread, I have to research for the title... and thereby increase my knowledge. Thank you so much ! 🤗

Will wait for your Nemean Lion 😊

My 2 bits...

Unlike most here, I did not find the episode to be that boring. Yeah, they dragged it, and yeah we all missed a glimpse of Barun... but for me, I'll take the positives out of it and move on. Still hoping for a better tomorrow ! 😍

As I'm thinking what to write about the episode, I have no words ! There was nothing much in the episode in general, so I'll keep it to the actors today.

Abhaas Mehta, over the past month, has been a revelation as an actor. If you see his role over the past year, all he used to do was twitch and stare. But since Barun's absence, he has got a meatier role therefore a way to showcase his talent. Oh, how I, as a viewer, feel a chill going down my spine every time he stares at Khushi or worse - touches her ! I feel sick down to my guts ! I don't know about the rest of you, but I used to laugh at his villain-giri earlier... but now, he is turning out to be one of the best (male) villains in the history of television ! Hats off to Abhaas ! 👏👏👏

Utkarsha Naik, again a senior actress, someone who I used to find OTT in the earlier episodes... but then I realized that's what her character is all about and how brilliantly she is portraying the character. She was simply mind-blowing today... Maami's concern for Arnav, NK-Khushi keeping Maami out of the loop, Maami's brain doing some overtime - how beautifully she portrayed today. Again, hats off to Utkarsha ji ! 👏👏👏

Have to share with you girls... Today right after the episode, I wanted to come online on redux to share the feedback with you girls... but my net was giving trouble... my immediate reaction was, and this is literally in quotes: "Laagat hai modem-wa mein piroblem hui gava hai... isko On-iyaay se Off-iyay kare ka padi" I didn't even realize what I said until my family members started staring at me... and dad was like WHAT 😲!?! (He doesn't watch the program, by the way) !

- That's the brilliance of an actor on screen that she has left such a mark in our day-to-day lives ! And trust me, I'm not a Hindi Daily Soap fan... specially because of these OTT characters portrayed in almost all our serials day in day out !

So, I'm keeping my faith in these creatives and in this team and hoping things will get better ! But the day I stop getting anything positive out of it... I'm out ! After a long day's work, I come home, switch on my TV for entertainment... If I don't get it, what's the point !

CV's please get the old charm back ! For us, it's just entertainment... but for you, the stakes are a lot higher ! Think about it !

❤️

NOTE TO CV's

Thank you very much for again showing Khushi praying to Devi Maiyya for forgiveness for her lies and trickery! It is these small, integral touches that make us want to watch IPKKND. Keep it simple, and sweet and we'll be happy.

A suggestion: A few silent, tears from a broken Khushi from missing Arnav, and worried about being unable to find him after so many efforts will connect with the audience. She has been trying to find him for too long, and all she does is run here, rush there, tempt Shyam and have brain sessions with NK. We need to see the softer side of Khushi - just 1 minute of her sobbing over Arnav will do just fine! Thanks! 😊

===============================================

You know, I've come to the conclusion that it is not love, or lust that Shyam has for Khushi. It's rather more of an obsessive desire. You know, when you passionately desire something, you go to any lengths to have it with you - that is, if your mind gets totally obsessed with that deep want.

Remember when we were little-bittle kids, how if we liked a toy, we would nag, and worry our parents to buy it? If they didn't, we would throw tantrums, pull long faces, and wail around hoping that they would give in to our miserable tear-stained faces? - This is all only if you were this type of kid, obviously.

Now, remember how happy we used to be once our parents would buy us that toy which we wanted so badly? We would show it off to our friends, and keep it by our side the whole day, sometimes even taking it to bed at night!

Well, Shyam's obsessive desire for Khushi reminds me of just that. He is a man who fell for Khushi at first sight, and who became obsessive about her when she was no longer within his reach. Once Khushi came to know that he was married to Anjali, she distanced herself from him. We all know how it feels when something you desire is kept away from you. It is maddening, you no longer have that in your control, a feeling of loss and restlessness forms in you as you try to lay your hands on the thing you want the most.

Shyam, like I said in several of my previous posts, has an inferiority complex and aims to have control over wealth and Khushi. Having control over them ensure him a feeling of superiority, thereby ridding him of his feelings of insecurity and inferiority. The moment either of them are taken away from him, he goes maniacal and dangerous. This pushes him to go to any lengths to gain those two main elements in his life.

Now, Shyam is quite close to laying his hands on the wealth (which reminds me, hey CV'swhat in the world is happening on that front? The signed will is taped beneath the cradle, and the 'Trust' Will is out of mind now!). Coming back to Shyam, he has wealth within his reach now, and to him, Khushi too seems to be warming up to him, just like the old days when he was a paying guest at GH (Gupta House).

Let's go slowly here, shall we? Shyam was first taken in by Khushi's beauty. He wanted to get to know her better, be closer to her, so he got into Buaji's good books and ensured a place as a paying guest at their house. While he was here, he helped them, listened to them and supported them. He built his credibility and friendship with Khushi in this time. Here is where he erred, he was already married to Anjali, he wanted to form a relationship with Khushi, and wanted both money and love in his life. He knew this was wrong, but refused to accept this truth.

Instead, he kept fooling everyone, and played with everyone's feelings. Now Shyam has never been the kind to think far ahead and that's where one of his main follies lie. He knew Khushi was a regular visitor at RM (Raizada Mansion), he knew that she bonded well with everyone (except ASR at that time) in the house. One small slip and he would be doomed - he knew that very well, and he tried getting her to leave RM too.

Now instead of telling her to leave RM, the right thing would have been to forget about her and go back to loving Anjali! Why didn't he do this? And no, it's not about 'no morality' or anything. He continued his treachery because he was deeply obsessed with Khushi by now, and his strong desire to have her and only her as his love in his life shut down all areas of right and wrong in his mind.

Greed, insecurity, inferiority, desire to control, to have power, and obsession - all these drove him to listen to the dark side of himself. They overpowered his reasoning, and sense of right and wrong. His hungry ego drove him to do all that was against the principles of love, harmony, peace and sense. Simply narcissistic and selfish, his ego waited to devour every piece of temptation without thinking of the consequences it would reap.

Fast-forwarding to the present, Shyam's wants are materializing slowly. His desires and wants are seeing completion. They will soon be his, or so he thinks. This is the reason why he's so lost in his teenager day-dreams. When he got the Will the first time around he strutted his stuff in ASR's own room and gloated in front of Khushi. Now that he sees Khushi against ASR, and allowing him to touch her now and then, he is reminded of their days in GH when she came to him for advice and help. Those were the days when he was first attracted to her - and now that he is getting to relive hose days, it's quite natural for him to live in a happy bubble and waiting for Khushi to completely give in to him.

He has started to trust Khushi, note he doesn't trust her yet. He used the word 'bharosa' yesterday with Khushi. His trust in her is building surely and steadily. The past few days, she has opened up a bit to him, and he is happy with it. She is no longer brushing his hand aside angrily, nor is she talking harshly to him. She is again approaching him, smiling at him, talking sweetly, clearing her doubts, asking for his support and being 'saath saath' with him. For a man like Shyam who has been wanting this treatment from Khushi since so many days, it's a welcome relief, a reward, a blessing and a contentment that he is soon getting what he wants.

Of course, he doesn't know what he will really get at the end when Khushi finds Arnav. He will be betrayed, his trust will be broken, his desires snatched away, he will be outsmarted and left open to attack. I fear his reaction. A person like Shyam can react violently in the heat of the moment. However, if he doesn't lose his cool right then, he will take calculated steps to finish every bit of Khushi and Arnav's lives.

The depth of loss, the depth of his defeat can spur Shyam in any direction. He will of course cover himself up as usual and blame the whole thing on Khushi. But, it will be worse than that for Khushi, a man like Shyam won't let her get off so easily. Obsession can go to dangerous heights - some people are so selfish, that they can kill the one they desire - they follow the logic that, if they can't get their desire (person), then no one else will be allowed to get that desire (person) too. Deadly viper he is - Shyam!

I shuddered when he said to Khushi about ASR, "Hum use 'sambhaal lenge' Khushijji". His 'sambhaal lenge' was said in such a spine-chilling manner that it sent shivers down my back! Khushi caught on to it too. Her apprehensive, scared look said it all. Enough hint for her to know how dangerous he can be.

Khushi is doing all in her stride to keep Shyam hooked on to her. A touch, a smile, a glance, a doubt are all taken to him - making him feel wanted, and known. An insecure man like him likes such attention, and Khushi is giving it to him in slow doses. Luring him, captivating him, and keeping him under delusions. He is so under her spell right now, that he doesn't see the stealthy way in which the noose is winding round his neck, tied by Khushi. She not only tightens the noose around him, but also strips off the wealth he is waiting for. If there's one thing this man should learn, it is to not be so greedy! He has a loving wife (it's a different matter that she's stuck in fairy-land), he has her love, he has status, wealth by living in RM ' but no, he wants all of it to belong to him and him alone. (I can almost imagine him saying "Me no wants to share" with a pout). 😆

Drawn by her charms, Shyam is being lulled into the false security of Khushi coming closer to him again. He doesn't even notice, and doesn't even see that his power has been quietly replaced by her. He won't be getting his hands on Raizada's wealth so soon. Just like all his failed plans, he will be over-turned at the last minute and will be bound to his inferior state yet again! But, like I said before, Shyam can't stand being inferior, and if he is taken down, well then, he'll make sure that he takes down the cause of his doom - Khushi, and later ASR. Why Khushi first? Because for him, she will be the bigger betrayer - just when she was showing him the moons and the stars, she goes and hurls a burning meteorite his way! "Hum isme saath saath hai" ' He is going to use this against her in future. How he does it remains to be seen.

The pen drive, NK says holds information, video, files for a lifetime! Before that he also says, "Ek hindi film main, aise hi cheez main ek chabi chubi hui thi" ' yes, he meant 'chabi chuppi' hui thi (key was hidden), but this line was a nice one. We all know by now that chabi (key) stands for the truth ' there are so many truths to come out now, that I am no longer sure which truth will be unlocked first.

One is, the whole Shyam truth right from the beginning,

the other truth is Shyam kidnapping Arnav,

another truth is the terrace night misunderstanding,

and yet another truth is Arnav having confronted only Shyam about the terrace scene and not Khushi.

The above truths are for Arnav-Khushi mainly.

For the RM/GH family it will be:

One - Shyam's whole truth,

Shyam kidnapping Arnav,

Khushi keeping quiet about Shyam and the kidnapping!

(If I forgot any other 'truths' please add on).

Okay, going back to NK's dialogue about "chabi chubi" meaning the key hurt or in our case, the truth hurt – it's clear that whichever truth comes out is going to really cause heart-aches and tears for everyone. The amount of information and details in the truth is going to be hard to bear.

Now if we go with "chabi chuppi hui thi" – well, the truth can't be hidden for long. Remember the key/truth was hidden under the carpet. That was Shyam's truth, I had said, remember? Khushi, had taken it out, used it, replaced it, then NK uncovered it, used it and replaced it, correct?

Now, after thinking of the above scene and today's gift scene – all I could see was that there were 5 people in the room when the gift was kept on the table. NK, Khushi, Maamiji and Naaniji were already there, Shyam came in later. Now, of these 5, 4 are aware that Arnav has been kidnapped (NK, Khushi, Maamiji and Shyam), two know that Shyam is the kidnapper (NK and Khushi), and one is completely unaware of anything happening (Naaniji). Looking at the scene, it struck me that the key/truth will be first told to will be Maamiji and Naaniji. Khushi may let slip the truth to NK, or NK may chance about the truth, but the truth will be conveyed to Maamiji and Naaniji only at first.

I liked the way they showed him more concerned about the phone call than the gift, who bhi Anjali ki gift. He's throwing out all love and wealth from his life on his own! Granted that he himself sent those gifts to RM via handsome kidnapper, but his impatient, uncaring action was a treat to watch!

Maami – all the while on alert Maami, her brains never sleep. She is suspicious right from the time the delivery man comes with the box, until everyone leaves. She unwraps her gift, takes out the perfume and sniffs it warily. She immediately senses that her Arnav bituwa would have never bought her this perfume since he knows her tastes. Take her back in the inbhestigashun team and see how quickly they'll reach Arnav! Maamiji's brains deserve a Gold Medal!

The poor message Arnav wrote was right there near Khushi and she didn't see it! Now we have to wait till Monday to see what he wrote!

Another thing about the gift scene. Clearing my thoughts on it – Shyam knows that Khushi knows that ASR is kidnapped. Shyam does not know that Khushi knows that Shyam is the one who has kidnapped ASR. So, since he knows that she knows that Arnav is kidnapped, didn't he think that she has tried once before to get to ASR, and this action of gifts coming from Arnav will raise her antenna that since he is kidnapped how could he possibly send gifts and that she will try to find him again? Or does he expect her to go up to him and ask him why would the kidnappers send the gifts? Has he really shut his thinking?

Okay, going back to the pendant/pen drive. I couldn't help noticing that Khushi lost her cool and flung it down only to make it break open. Is she going to do the same with Shyam? Get emotionally combustible and make him spill the truth in front of Arnav? Or will it be Shyam himself in a matter of gloating who will spill it? Wait and watch…

Meanwhile, Khushi uses more of her innocent eyes, twiddling fingers and hesitation to draw Shyam out from his room successfully so that NK can replace the pen drive pendant. I loved the scene that followed.

The positioning of Shyam and Khushi individually behind the chair at the head of the table was marvellous! A big applause for whoever thought of that brilliant stroke. 👏 👏

The chair at the head of the table – the Throne, the seat of power and authority. Again, just like the time when Khushi lied to Anjali about Arnav being safe, and Shyam forming the apex of their triangle I had felt Arnav standing there between them. Today too, with Shyam and Khushi behind that chair, I could imagine Arnav there between them, sitting on that chair of power.

I loved how Sanaya Irani closed her eyes when Shyam touched her shoulders, just that she should have frowned a bit more, but theek hai, it was good! She detest this man from the core of her heart. His touch repulses her, his nearness suffocates her, and his words jar her sensitive soul. Yet, despite all his unpleasantness, she stands before him, looks into his eyes, smiles at him, and gives him that sense of reliability.

Khushi first places her hands on the chair – couldn't help seeing that she will in her own way keep protecting Arnav from being stabbed in the back, or will keep watch over him ensuring that he is not hurt in any way. The way her hands rest on the chair show that she will take care of him and will be right there with him.

When Shyam goes behind the chair, he leans heavily on it. I don't know how, but Shyam is going to have some leverage with ASR. He will use some information against Arnav in the future. It was almost like Shyam will be breathing down ASR's neck, leaning on him with all his might, stopping ASR from progressing in some area of life. Remains to be seen…

And then, the triangle, though I couldn't get any satisfactory meaning out of it. But I liked it – Shyam-NK-Khushi – I'm actually wondering if NK will come to know of Shyam's dark past, that Shyam had tricked Khushi and GH, and was a paying guest at GH, and that he had cheated on Anjali. Remains to be seen…

The last scene was the scene where – CV's where are you? All the emotional scene you give to everyone else except the one who really needs to break down!! This is one scene, where you could have shown Khushi really at the end of her tether – pulling her hair, and crying over Arnavji along with Maamiji! Two fierce ladies overcome with worry over husband and son would have been 'dramatic' to watch! Anyway, will write this point in my CV's note above later…

Maami was great as the mother who desperately misses her son, longing for him to come back, fearing the situation he is in, with no clue as to where he is and how he is! Her annoyance at not being able to help the duo in their search, and hurt that they were leaving her out of the search for her son was brilliantly carried out by Utkarsha Naik!! 👏 Khushi of course will go full steam ahead in her search for Arnavji, she will do as much as possible to get to core of the matter, the note has to still reach her, once she gets that, will she go alone to find Arnav? Will she confide in NK and Maami about the note? Sigh… remains to be seen!

===============================================

THINGS I LIKED

1. Maamiji's emotional outburst - Speaks volumes about how Maamiji is not concerned only about materialistic things, she has a mother's heart who longs to see her son safe and sound in his own house among them! Plus, it was sad to see her feeling left out of the planning and investigation team of NK-Khushi. Poor thing wants to swing into action and get Arnav back asap, and here the people she trusted and partnered with are ignoring her brains! They should have seriously consulted her - her brains are at par with ASR's brains!

2. Khushi praying to Devi Maiyya for forgiveness for her lies and tricking - khushi still has her values, morals, and ethics intact. All her lies, and deceit are in order to find Arnav. She is not one whose conscience will sit easily as she goes around doing things against it's base - her whole soul will be restless until she asks for forgiveness from Devi Maiyya.

3. Shyam having 'bharosa' on Khushi - He is slipping slowly into her honeyed words, sweet looks and coy smiles. Her actions, and approach toward him are increasing her credibility in his eyes. Bharosa/Trust is a small word with a big value. How long will this bharosa last? Better yet, what will be the extent of Shyam's rage once he realizes that he got tricked into it, that Khushi was never his, and that his trust is shaken?

4. Bharosa/Trust - The word was repeated in the episode, First by Shyam to Khushi, second by Khushi to Maamiji. Both trusts are going to be broken soon. Shyam's trust in Khushi will break anytime soon, and Maamiji's trust in Khushi? When she finds out that Khushi hid the truth about Shyam for so long, or if Shyam blames Khushi for seducing him (he can come up with any vile thought) - what will Maamiji do?

===============================================

I found the episode good in terms of the few hints given, Maami's emotional outburst, the gift scene, and Shaym and Khushi conversation at the dinner table. On another note: the episode did drag. It seemed like there's confusion as to how to proceed. I almost felt like they were waiting for Doodleberry to lay down the tracks for them 😆

===============================================

Keep holding on guys - before the lull comes the storm, the darkest hour is before dawn... those are the top most messages coming to my head right now!

Feel free to add more 😉 (for you Bush)

Love,

PRIVATE SPACE RESERVED FOR GUL KHAN ... yea yea once again .. but not in a million years will you guess why 😉

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

It wasn't a conscious decision not to write, but yesterday nothing touched me in the episode.. not to say that the episode was BAD.. its just that from a writing POV ' dint feel that I had anything new to contribute , something which I or the others had not already contributed in the past '

Once again I was not inspired to write anything today as well .. a full blown writers block had by now struck me .. but then while rehashing the episode in the old thread Supna made a comment ' which made me laugh out so much ' that I really felt cleansed '

The whole birth of the "chameli Tel" company .. brought back the lighter side ' Thanx Bushy ' u once again in ur own funny way reminded us this is fiction & we are taking ourselves & the whole show too seriously.

Then I recalled another post ' in yesterdays thread ' by Sandy ( Mommamia) ' (the mother & baby story)' I don't know about others here ' but Sandy your post was simply cathartic for me ' it brought back the balance in my approach which is so important when one is imparting information ' it corrected the negative bias where my thots were concentrated on ' Thanx a ton babe '

Since yesterday a lot of you were encouraging me to pen my thots & not abstain ' so thanx to all for encouraging me to write again .. here I had a person who I have only recently come to know making me laugh ' another one gently nudging me out of my angst & anger ' '.. that's when it strikes u '.guys'.. aren't we all truly connected ..truly joined today thru one common link Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon '

So amidst this thick cloud of confusion .. about where our serial is heading ' this thick cloud of angst .. about when will this current track end .. this thick cloud of anger .. about why episodes which r seemingly not looking important are being dished out to us.

Amidst this huge boiling qualdrum of rage building towards the PH ' let me just bring your attention towards the bright side here ' lets c what we have ACHEIVED rather than what we PERCIEVED we are loosing '

(Guys no continuity Jerk in my writing .. hence.. this post while is dedicated to the whole IPK team .. I am singling out Gul's name here )

My Last update was about Gul's 10 point agenda on Yo Yoing TRPs ' today I am putting across another one of Gul's pointed agendas .. pleej bare with me..

Gul's Recipe for Ratatouille

(Definition of Ratatouille: A vegetable dish consisting of onions, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and cheese, fried and stewed in oil and sometimes served cold.)

1. First ignite the Fire : ie launch a serial with 2 very good actors & give

them awesome characterisations.

So what do you get: you get a a bevy of females swooning & gasping for more

2. Put the pan on the fire: ie you give the serial a "Hatke" romance story line

So what do you get: a possey of women starved to see good romance on TV get heated up

3. Add oil/butter to the mixture: ie you oscillate your story between love & hate between the leads 'adding the much need ingredient which will help cook the story

So what do you get: with this move you have hooked your audience.. you have successfully bound your audience to your frying pan your thought or story

4. Now add the flavor agents & spices to the heated oil mix: ie bring in the sizzling chemistry'.. crackle the screen with some "hot" scenes & dances

So what do you get: you get a bevy, possey , group, herd & yea practically all women to now gasp for more ' the spice has flavoured their palate

5. Now add the main ingredients the vegetables: ie Add the most important ingredient to the mix marry the leads just like the vegetables marry with the spice & crackle & then take the flavor... similarly the leads marry crackle & heat up the atmosphere & finally settle to work with the flavors or the family.

So what do you get: now u have all the ingredients in place for a ravishing dish'all the ingredients have come together & will now work for you.

6. Now to this mixture add Cheese: ie the one ingredient needed to bind all this together to make this dish a success. So you open your self to the world of Internet Communication your most important tool.

So what do you get: Now you have used your "divya shastra" your ingredient which will bind everything & bring out the flavors .. rather enhance the flavors ' yes the cheese the Internet population.. you have bound audiences world over on a common platform of Romance through your wonderful dish your story telling

7. Now let this mixture simmer & Cook over Flame or a preheated Oven: ie let the flavors & ingredients & cheese do the work now .. your story, your actors & your audience are now married to each other.

So what do you get: you get your all your ingredients working together .. your spice ( strong romance) your ingredients ( your strong story line) & Cheese ( your fans) they are working with each other .. bonding with each other to make this dish a true master piece ' .. The DISH 'The Master Piece ---

ISS PYAAR kO KYA NAAM DOON.

We have been bashing Dear ole Gul from here to high heaven whenever things have not gone our perceived way ' while having a chat with Tants .. it struck me see what Gul has achieved ' Gul Khan has brought in women from all parts of the world , women from all walks & professions of the world .. women from different cultures & nationalities .. & united them through a single United Agenda.. ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOON '

Gul Thanx & yea don't promise to stop the rants .. but please note we do appreciate what IPK has done for us.

I would urge all of you who have not already read Sandy's post yesterday to read it today ' its on page 2 of Snare Redux. She was so right ' to achieve anything good we have to go through some suffering ' so to see are leads unite .. we will have to suffer through some episodes which may not be upto the mark that we expect them to be ' but if they do not show proper snaring of Shyam by Khushi .. they cannot show the Ultimate Hate track between the two either '

Now for the REVIEW:

An extension episode today as well .. I don't think one can add to much interms of writing about the episode .. pretty much straight forward for all of us to c & catch .. so will concentrate on What I Liked & what I dint like

What caught my eye :

Shyam's reaction on Khushi tying the DM locket around his neck .. yes I read here how people felt it was love & how u guys questioned how he dint feel the pen drive locket fall?

Now go & see todays episode it starts from Shyam's expression '. It is never LOVE for Shyam .. pls .. Love is a pure emotion ' a man Like SHyam is incapable of pure emotions .. Shyam at that point of time was in the throes of extreme bout of LUST '. Yes that's when you are incapable of being aware of anything around you but the Touch which is igniting the LUST '.

I thought Abhaas was bang on with his expressions here ' the stunned look ' the whole body in frozen shock .. the bemused smile ' all attributed to the extreme LUST he was in at that time ' Loved the way KHushi maneuvered the change of the locket as well & made sure that Shyam doesn't wear it around his neck ''simply because when she returned the same she would not be obliged to go close to him again ' there is only so much she can suffer, Shyam's proximity.

Point to Ponder: Shyam's dialogue ' ab hum dono isme hamesha se saath saath hai '. Was he alluding to the upcoming BLAME KHUSHI here ' looked liked that too me ' she is equally at fault in the whole kidnapping fiasco ' if she had not unwittingly helped Shyam to get ASR's signature .. ASR would not have gotten kidnapped'.. she is as much party to the crime & once again brought out by the CVs for us.

Bang the next shot .. when Khushi is standing infront of DM & asking for her forgiveness .. ' this so beautifully portrayed the conundrum that's Khushi ' At one end the woman is involved in Cheating someone, she's plotting someone's downfall & at the end other her innocence & her pureness leads her in front of her DM to ask her for her pardon ' a very beautiful shot .. superb in its simplicity .. (guys not all scenes will be good on all days .. but some days a small bit of brilliance just sparks up the scene & episode)

The next scene where Khushi / NK try to unlock the password in the pendrive ..i understand a lot of us are technically very savvy .. but lets not forget that these two aren't .. ( dint think Khushi even knew what a pen drive is?) what was good was that they showed something authentic .. yes p/w do get locked after a couple of wrong tries ' I think we are looking for way to much logic ' the path that the CVs took here was to create the drama .. that would now be shown ( as the precap suggested a camera fitted to catch the p/w)

But todays highlight scene was the one where Khushi speaks with Shyam near the dining Hall for the papers that she had signed ..not because of any greatness in script here ' but for the subtle nuances '

Today what makes the whole Khushi / Shyam track palatable to me is how Khushi is taking Shyam back to the Good Old GH days ' then too she would take Shyam aside & ask him for help ' then too she would allude to Shyam for advice ' then too she would look upto Shyam as a trusted friend & ally ' then too she would give Shyam the same COY SMILE that she gave him today '

This was one of the best scenes I have seen this week the most logical scene that I saw this week ' the most relevant scene I saw this week '.

Let me tell you why '. To completely ENSNARE Shyam ' to completely enjoy Shyam's TRUST Khushi needs to take him back to the time when he was completely ensnared by her .. when he completely trusted her '. The time was Shyam's stay at GH'. She has trapped him very well now'

But if you think this necessarily means that this will make Shyam lead her to Arnav directly then NO '. This is just so that when Arnav is rescued ' the BUBBLE OF LUST that Shyam is in now .. will BURST ' he will be released from the same ' this in his mind will be complete betrayal from Khushi ' & that's when he will TURN against her ' the LUST track should end here.

Now for What I dint like '

The whole Shyam sending gifts to RM on behalf of Arnav ' it was ridiculous .. I mean who sends sarees from Scotland ( this is one of the lowest hanging bloopers in a full fledged blooper ridden sequence)

Khushi/ Sanaya 's expressions ' seriously this girl needs a break ' where were her expressions ' she gets a parcel which says her husband has sent from Scotland .. a husband she knows never went to Scotland .. a husband she knows who is kidnapped .. a husband whos last meeting with her she saw him unconscious & being carted off .. I leave it to you dear reader to figure what her expression shud've been & what we GOT .. Nk was more disturbed '

In the gift scene what were they trying to show to us today .. that Nani was mercenary ' was she waiting for Gifts from her Chotte or was she worried that her Chotte who always makes it a point to be back by a certain date has not returned ' isn't that what she was cribbing about in yesterdays episode .. so why is she happy with gifts sent to her by Arnav .. that still doesn't indicate the date of his return ' CV's please stick to story line .. don't use your scenes to give us so many clues or justify at every point of time the problems that you guys are facing internally within your production ' we maybe sympathetic for a while but come 8:00pm we still expect to see quality content.

Well guys some Bloopers .. some mistakes .. some great scenes apart ' it was another day in IPK '

I am confident that come next week .. we will see a lot of action here .. we will see dreamboat in full glory .. being a macho stud ' ( a relief for the naked eye ;))

So as usual as I sign off let me remind you ' I am going to be there Monday evening 8:00 pm sharp IST watching our own IPK ' am sure will see you all there.

The stew simmers on a slow flame... has not reached to a boil yet...

As we wait with bated breath for our blue eyed boy to be rescued few things need to fall in place for the next ball to roll in motion.

Shyam and Khushi

The yarn of lust needs to reach its pinnacle. It is a powerful force like love but with the opposing effect.The gentle madness of Arnav and Khushi's love is pure and sweet. It has taken time to ripen to give us its sweetness. So does the lust that lurks in Shyam's heart needs to be fanned to reach its obsessive zenith. Shyam has started to trust Khushi, his advances towards her have become gentle, a stark contrast to his grabbing days during the sangeet or fancy dress competition.He has started to believe that his dream will be a reality...but he needs further assurances that Khushi has completely accepted him...for performing his masterstroke.

Khushi in love is smart but reckless and seething in anger...a loose cannon that that will reach its goal but singe the surroundings too...

She is playing with fire and with every success she ups her enticement quotient.

Anjali has noticed it, NK too has seen it... their interpretation will define the next course of action. But a few more instances need to be registered with them for their perceptions to become stronger.

Today Shyam and Khushi's interaction reminded me of the incident in GH when Khushi lost in thought trying to decipher Arnav's changed behaviour comes too close to the burning stove to be pulled back by him in the nick of time... Will Arnav be able to mitigate the danger once more and save Khushi without her getting hurt? How far will he be able to stem the brewing storm in the life of the Guptas and Raizadas...that is being accelerated by Khushi's present actions.

Shyam and Khushi's interaction were cringe worthy and an excellent portrayal by the cast and crew... A contrast of the actions of two men in love well depicted.👏

Khushi the righteous and pious person begs forgiveness to DM for her immoral actions... A dogmatic society we live in where the actions of a girl always needs to be justified even if it is for the right reasons!!!😳

A package of gifts arrives supposedly from Arnav and Nani's worries are soothed but Mami's are stroked. The wise matriarch was pleased easily with material gifts who earlier never valued them above relationships... The thought of speaking to chotte and admonishing him for using material wealth as a solution to all problems does not even cross her mind.😕

The gifts of sarees and perfumes from Scotland... I can digest as the broad Indian diaspora has set up shops on all corner of the world with Indian merchandise...😆

The golden heart of Mami again at display the humane touch in today's episode... Genuine affection,concern for Arnav overflowed in her tears and soft scolding of the detective duo on their slow pace of progress... I am an official fan of Manu Band from today for expressing the anguish of the viewers so eloquently..😃

The techno spy game of Albert (NK) and Tuppence Bersford(Khushi) was a fresh idea... till date Indian serials have only taken recourse to eavesdropping,clicking snaps or video recording...So an appreciation for trying something new..👏 .. I am not much of a tech savvy person so could overlook the glitches in the sequence... Ignorance is bliss😆

Patience is the name of the game... as I await for another chapter of the missing note and pen drive to come in play...

Dheere Dheere chale serial ka pahiya...

Iss liye udaass na hon mori gudiya....

( The wheels of progress in a serial is very slow

so do not feel sad my lovely darlings)😊
